[Nat] I'll echo Doug in saying that Boost.Signal was designed for use
cases like yours. We use Boost.Signal very successfully in a mixed C++
and Python environment. Ours is single-threaded.

Please have a look at the mail archive as well: there has been a recent
fairly extensive discussion about a thread-safe implementation of (a
close approximation of) the Boost.Signal interface.
